Hyundai Elantra: hyundaiusa.com/us/en/vehicles/2021-elantra

As expected, Kia Optima AKA K5 is following in the footsteps of its platform sibling Hyundai Sonata, which went through the generation upgrade in 2020. The new sedan is not just another Kia, arguably, it looks better than a Stinger.
Hyundai i20: hyundai.news/uk/press-kits/0/i20/
Redesigned for 2021, Hyundai i20 small hatchback enters its third generation with a generous list of standard tech, attractive exterior and a versatile range of engines.
Kia Seltos: kia.com/us/en/seltos

Hyundai Venue: hyundaiusa.com/us/en/vehicles/venue
Even though this all-new subcompact crossover joined Hyundai’s lineup in 2020, it remains extremely fresh to deserve a shout out in this episode. The Venue is the smallest and most affordable entry in the Hyundai crossover line.
Genesis G80: genesis.com/kr/en/models/luxury-sedan-genesis/g80/overview.html
Don’t mind newcomers from Mercedes, BMW or Audi, without a doubt, the most stunning premium mid-size sedan of 2021 is Genesis G80.

Kia XCeed: www.kia.com/uk/new-cars/xceed/
2020 Kia XCeed sits on the same platform as the rest of the Ceed lineup, but boasts an all new body, updated styling, elegant fastback roof, and more ground clearance. Under the hood, the XCeed can be spec-ed to your liking: it has 3 gasoline and 2 diesel engine options, plus a PHEV modification joined the lineup in early 2020.
Hyundai Prophecy: hyundai.news/eu/model-news/hyundai-presents-its-future-vision-with-prophecy-concept-ev
This concept is the next attempt by Hyundai to change the perception of the brand, by drifting away from awkward shapes of the former models and into the new Sensuous Sportiness design philosophy, which draws inspiration from Porsches of the Golden Era.

Hyundai i20 is one of the most iconic car!
Don't be silly, that Optima does not look better than a Stinger.
Kia is on to something tryna take over the car war
Forgot Genesis GV70
Somebody help! I'm becoming a Hyundai/kia fanboy!🤩
My opinion is that Hyundai is off to fill a void in automobile production. While others are focusing on SUVs Hyundai has continued and, yes, even increased its presence in sedans. I drive a G80 and a Santa Fe. Both are terrific vehicles and as good as any made in Japan or Europe. In a few years, if the trend towards SUVs continues, you may need to drive a Hyundai product if you want a sedan.
I am very happy that the Korean car brand has left Indonesia. Korean auto parts in Indonesia are very expensive and hard to find too. service fees are also expensive. the selling price was also destroyed. I used it for 1 year and I had problems with K ** and Hyu * machines. This is just an opinion I don't know what kind of other country. forgive if anyone is offended My car is now a Mercedes Benz made in 2005, although buying used is still special, the engine is strong, the service is cheap, the engine parts are also a lot.
My father also have kia sorento
Sorento, Seltos, and K5 (Optima)
Good..👍
No stinger??
The Genesis G70 with the larger engine and AWD is the perfect car for me. Unfortunately my Tucson is less than a year old so I’ll keep it a little while longer.
South koreean should include the Ssangyoung brand. IT has some interesting propositions….with net value for money advantages…. Nu excluding that brand IT looks like a pair comercial for KIA and Hyundai sisters brands. Something îs wrong . The title ori the content
The Venue is kinda the USA version of Creta
He should be giving horsepower as well. I love the Sorento.
Korean car logos looks bad…just saying😀
I have a Kia Sportage 1600cc turbo AWD I am lucky to get 25 mpg but I love it. I don't do a lot of miles and enjoy the fact that when we had some snow some time ago I switched on the dif lock and felt really safe and fully under control.?
Sorry but I found the speaker's accent hard to follow. 🙁
This is the worst review I have ever watched because it is not clearly spoken. A Shame when you see what Hyundai/Kia are offering in this video. I am a 7 time Hyundai owner over the last 20 years. This ad was pathetic!!!!!
No thanks
Traded BenzS550 for genesis G90, best thing I ever did, genesis so much better, and people at dealer ship are very nice, unlike the assholes at benz
I'll take the Sorento.
I love i30 n
Most of their current crop of SUV’s today are weak powered FWD shopping trolleys.
I love Korean cars! 😀
The prophecy looks more than interesting, if they have the balls to put it into production.
A Genesis dealer in the middle of Audi & BMW dealership. Across from Benz dealer.
It looked like that when Lexus (ie LS 400) was released in US in 1990. Peace. 😉
The Korean Made Automobiles Are Not Durable Like European, Russian & Japanese Made.
The Prophecy is gorgeous. Make that with a gas engine and I'll be in the showroom for sure
